Paperwork and admin

Now that Nyamezela is on her way, Pete and his team are finalising the paperwork to get themselves over to the start. Virgin Atlantic has sponsored the flights for Pete, Cliff and Nic. And also for Kim and Hannah to meet Pete at the end of the race. The team will fly into Heathrow, and then take a bus to Gatwick to catch a flight to the Canaries on Easy Jet. There’ll be a ferry trip to La Gomera for final preparations. Pete and Cliff leave on 20 November ... still in good time to do what is necessary to finish Nyamezela for the race.

The visa shopping isn’t Visa shopping, or as much fun. In fact it is an exercise in giving over just about every ounce of personal information barring what colour your underwear is ... However, with the able and enthusiastic assistance of Mariska Smith at Visa Connect in Fish Hoek, the process is being made much smoother, especially for Cliff who requires a visa for the UK (transit) and also a Schengen visa for the Spanish leg (The Canaries).
